I usually just install the base group as well. Openssh, zsh, screen may follow if this is a server installation. Or if it's supposed to be a desktop one I go with xorg, drivers and DE but I never go through reading package list. Too lazy? Also as everything will be pulled down as dependencies I get the feeling only necessary packages are installed and nothing more :). -- Guillaume
